[$] LEDE and OpenWrt

The OpenWrt project is perhaps the most widely known Linux-baseddistribution for home WiFi routers and access points; it was spawnedfrom the source code of the now-famous Linksys WRT54G router more than12 years ago. In early May, the OpenWrt user community was throwninto a fair amount of confusion when a group of core OpenWrtdevelopers announced that they were starting a spin-off (or, perhaps, afork) of OpenWrt to be named the Linux Embedded Development Environment(LEDE). It was not entirely clear to the public why the split wastaking place-and the fact that the LEDE announcement surprised afew other OpenWrt developers suggested trouble within the team.
